After The Storm Poem by Katie Anon

The skies have cleared after the storm
But the sky is a still threatening grey
As I sit amongst the destruction of my life
Destroyed in the turmoil of depression
But what will be the succession?

I look around and feel lost and afraid
Overwhelmed by what to do
Should I start to rebuild my world
Make reinforcements to cope with it all
Or is it inevitable that again it will fall

How ever hard I try to make it strong
It has never been able to withstand
The destruction borne within my mind
So this time I will just explore the mess
And maybe I can learn from my distress

What is it that I value for myself
And want to put the energy to rebuild
Has anything stayed intact through it all
And in the calm can now be revived
I feel shaken but I at least I have survived

But I am helpless to the mercy of the weather
And I live in fear of the changing skies
For I know the damage it will do
And a way to escape I can not see
Will one day it actually destroy me
